Aaron Neville — Angola Bound lyrics

Too many mornin' gotta wake up soon
Oh lord, and eat my breakfast by the light of 'de moon
Oh lord, by the light of 'de moon

If you see my momma, tell her this for me
Oh I've got a mighty long time, lord knows I'll never go free
Oh lord, I'll never be free

Angola bound, now, angola bound
Angola bound, now, angola bound

I got lucky last summer when I got my time, angola bound
Well my partner got a hundred, I got ninety-nine, angola bound
You been a long time coming but you're welcome home, angola bound
And go to louisiana get your burdens on, angola bound
Oh captain, oh captain don't you be so cruel, angola bound
Oh you work me harder than you work that mule, angola bound

If it wasn't for the captain, oh lord, I'm shaggin' house
I'd be with my woman, yeah, before the sun goes down
You come up here skippin' and a' jumpin', oh lord, it won't last long
Gonna wish you was a baby boy, in your mother's arms

If it wasn't for the captain, oh lord, I'm shaggin' house
I'd be with my woman, yeah, before the sun goes down
You come up here skippin' and 'a jumpin', oh lord it won't last long
Gonna wish you was a baby boy, in your mother's arms

Angola bound, now, angola bound
Angola bound, now, angola bound

If it wasn't for the captain, oh lord, I'm shaggin' house
I'd be with my woman, yeah, before the sun goes down
You come up here skippin' and 'a jumpin', oh lord it won't last long
Gonna wish you was a baby boy, in your mother's arms
